King Charles III stripped brother Andrew of all titles: reasons for the decisive step

Prince Andrew was stripped of his title due to the Epstein scandal

King of the United Kingdom Charles III decided to strip his younger brother, Prince Andrew, of royal titles due to his connections with American sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. This decision was made after the prince himself renounced the title of Duke of York.

Now Andrew is left only with the name Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and must leave the Royal Lodge residence in Windsor estate and move to private housing in eastern England. The decision to strip the titles was personally made by the king, but found support from all members of the royal family.

These sanctions are necessary, despite the fact that he continues to deny the accusations. Their Majesties want to clearly demonstrate that their support and sympathy are always with the victims and all those who have suffered from any forms of violence

Sources from royal circles indicated that even without proven crimes, there were 'serious misjudgments' observed in Prince Andrew's behavior.

Following the scandal with American sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, Prince Andrew was stripped of royal titles and support from the entire royal family.
